Publisher Comments:

Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station?and a werewolf in the closet. Her new late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged is a raging success, but it's Kitty who can use some help. With one sexy werewolf-hunter and a few homicidal undead on her tail, Kitty may have bitten off more than she can chew?

Review:

"Vaughn's entertaining fantasy debut introduces Kitty Norville, a closeted werewolf who hosts a popular Denver radio program called The Midnight Hour. During her show, Kitty takes phone calls from listeners (not all of whom are human) while trying to maintain her secret identity. Unfortunately, the local vampire crime family wants her show canceled and has hired someone to kill her. In fact, it's during the course of Kitty's dramatic on-air conversation with her would-be assassin that she reveals to listeners that she is, indeed, a werewolf. Eventually, local police enlist her to help track down a serial killer who exhibits werewolflike tendencies. While Kitty's occasional neediness, snide tone and attempts at werewolf wit can grate, this remains a surprisingly human tale. Blurbs from Charlaine Harris and L.A. Banks will cue their readers. (Nov..)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

Kitty Norville is a midnight DJ for a Denver radio station--and a werewolf in the closet--who accidentally starts "The Midnight Hour," a late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged. But with a werewolf hunter on the loose, it's Kitty who could use some help. Original.

With all the werewolf/vampire books available now this is a little different. A different perspective on being a werewolf. The "reality" of trying to cope with being different. Finding strength to do what needs done and by doing so defining who you really are. Great read!

I think that this book is the werewolf equivalent of a romance. Just saying...

Kitty, a DJ at a radio station, was once brutally attacked and became a werewolf. She's still trying to figure out how to live her life, and trying not to lose her humanity.

Her radio show becomes an advice line for creatures of the night and those who love them.

Kitty's also standing up for the rights of weres and others. A series of gruesome crimes, a mysterious caller to her radio show, and Kitty's got to act fast to stop more violence and the retribution that will follow.

Funny, action-packed, but poignant, too. I've got her next book in my reading stack.
